City-information
for Bangalore
Bangalore is the capital city of Karnataka. Because it is 3000 feet above sea level it has a pleasurable climate even in the summer time. It was founded by Kempe Gowda in 1537. It is said that he had four bullock carts plow their way, with plowshares, in the four directions. When they stopped from exhaustion he had four towers built. They still stand today, as a reminder of how big Gowda expected his city to grow.
Bangalore is more Westernized than most Indian cities, but there is really not much to see. The nearby city of Mysore is a much nicer place
